The Spots of Black
@shirblackspots.bsky.social
I'm a Christian, moderate independent, bi/ace, he/him

I am a gray wolf known as Daniel. Also a Snep Chakat w/auburn hair & blue eyes, known as Blackspots.
Though, I do have two Raspberry Pi's, a Pi4 running FlightAware and Raspian Linux, and a Pi5 running whatever distro that Home Assistant uses.

I tried Linux Mint 22 (which runs on Ubuntu). Once you get around the boot loader issues (I had to manually add boot options within the BIOS in my laptop), it actually works perfectly.

Not going to add Linux to my main PC that I use every day until I'm more familiar with Linux.

Never saw tea bags hanging off hats at the few Tea Party rallies my family went to.

And it's a violation of the Hatch Act.

Company vehicles are generally abused and poorly maintained. Doesn't matter what brand it is.

On the first attempt secure boot was enabled in the bios, but not password enabled in the mint install. The last attempt, I set a secure boot password in the mint install.

Third attempt, I used my Windows USB A media installer to delete the partitions, then rebooted to install Mint again. Worked fine until reboot, it asked to store the MDK or rsk key in a basic blue screen. I didn't know what to do, so I escaped the screen. Result was the Dell logo boot loop

The connection to the archive to download packages was extremely slow, less than 1Mbps, so it took an hour or two to install. First install, I ran the package updater, and when it was done, I rebooted. Would not boot back into Mint, just a loop of the Dell logo. 2nd attempt to install Disney fix

Megaplex in 2030 depends on how much vacation time I'm allowed to use in the first year and a half that this job.
October 25, 2025 at 6:31 PM
Reason for no Megaplex in 2029 and no ANW in 2030 is because I would likely have a new job after retiring from my current job at the end of 2028

Walmart and other grocery stores sell pork & beans in a can. Campbell's brand, sometimes even as a private label.

How do you get circumcised twice? I thought once was enough.

Dang, that's a lot of subs. I try to keep mine to no more than 1 a month, subscribed to 6 months at a time (basically around 12-13 streamers), consisting of the streamers I watch the most.

I... Have no idea what that means, heh. *looks it up*

Gosh, that sounds a lot like my mom. She tithed like it was mandatory, because she feared evil things would happen to her if she didn't.

I'd probably buy one of these

What sort of OCD, if you don't mind me asking?

There's a friend on VRChat that talks about the voices in his head on occasion, he went through a depressive period a couple years back, which had similar behaviors to how my mom behaved all my life. I do believe he does take meds for stabilizing his moods.

The extreme fear of doing something wrong, and if they did X, it would appease God, also the general level of fairly strong paranoia. Also, mom has a problem of hearing voices in her head, and she reacts to them. She's currently on meds, and in a nursing home.
